senate republican blocked chuck hagel to be secretary of defense. it's a move that plays politics with the pentagon, a move to stop debate and failed confirmation 58-40. it is the first time a defense secretary nominee has needed to clear 60 votes. the move is likely to further strain partisan tensions less than a month into president obama's second term. >> my expectation and hope is that chuck hagel, who richly deserves to get a vote on the floor of the senate will be confirmed as our defense secretary. it's just unfortunate that this kind of politics intrudes at a time when i'm still presiding over a war in afghanistan. >> there are still questions outstanding. i believe that senators have the right to have those questions answered. >> some senators say they want to examine information regarding u.s. consulate attack in benghazi. some say after next week's recess, though, hagel will be ultimately confirmed. >>> during a live streaming google hangout chat thursday president obama defended his administration's use of drones in the war on terror ins

chuck hagel is a very problematic nominee. he had one of the most disastrous confirmation hearing performances in recent history. we are still getting information that he should have disclosed at the outset when he was first nominated about speeches he has given and so forth. there is a lot of information we don't have and don't know about chuck hagel that we should be getting, and of course the bigger point is about benghazi. senator graham, other senators are putting a hold on his nomination because this administration is not disclosing everything they have about the benghazi attack. jon: and republicans haven't said absolutely not to chuck hagel, they have simply said, we need more information, and please get it to us. >> that's right, then we will give you a vote this. administration which has pride itself on transparency has been anything but transparent its come to the september 11th benghazi attacks which left four americans dead. we don't have answers. and it really is the -- the burden is on the white house, jon. the
